    Explain it like I’m 5 - bump stops!

    Corrected with updated info Aug. 19: The new Tacomas donā€™t have external bump stops mounted to the frame in the front. They are internal to the shock In the Off Road. The Pro has shock mounted external bump stops I believe.

    My Solar Octane TRD Off Road 6 foot Bed arrived at dealer

    In Canada the OR Premium only comes in a 5 foot bed, and the orange is still quite rare. Mine is a regular Off Road. The 6ā€™ bed make it feel like a real truck, looks better balanced with the long cab and is so much more useful.

    Dash Cam Solutions for 2024 Tacoma

    My truck has arrived at the dealership, all I need now is a dash cam. How far away from the dongar parking mode setup release are we @Dongar ?

    My Solar Octane TRD Off Road 6 foot Bed arrived at dealer

    At least I donā€™t need to get mudflaps. Must be a Canadian spec thing for them to come factory. So all I got to do is a dash cam and find out about body colour moldings. I have everything else.

    My Solar Octane TRD Off Road 6 foot Bed arrived at dealer

    My Solar Octane TRD OR ordered April 8th, the day of the Solar eclipse, has arrived at the dealer. I expect Iā€™ll get it next wkd or during the week. The dealer is closed on Sunday. A few notes: - It has chrome lug nuts, earlier Off Roads had black lug nuts. I like both, unsure which ones...

    Just picked up my 2024 TRD Pro. Traded my 2002 1st gen that I've had since new.

    It has a truck bed, (maybe a shorter one) and will do most the same work, unless you towing a lot. I say the same thing about my old ā€˜98 K1500, it had a 6.5ā€™ bed with a 6500 lb tow rating. My expensive new Tacoma will have a 6ā€™ bed and towing rating of 6500 lbs. it will do the same work...

    Rough transmission shifts

    I think I will buy mine too. My first Toyota ever. It will be the canary that decides if I or anyone in my extended family and friends ever buys a Toyota again. In the past Iā€™ve have good luck with a new Ram, new VWā€™s and most all of my used GMā€™s. Ironically, those are some of the brands...

    Toyota tech tip on transmission failure: "Torque Converter Required During Transmission Replacement With Debris"

    I think itā€™s just saying if debris in pan, then replace torque converter. The debris could have been from the failed transmission parts. However I do think it possible it was a run of bad transmissions from Aisin. Maybe due to a manufacturing glitch such as debris. If it was an engineering...

    Apple Carplay Problems.

    šŸ¤” I hope Iā€™m ok when I get my truck. My iPhone is a 5 year old XR (10) but I do keep it updated to the latest software. Canā€™t afford to update it yet, spent my spare money on Tacoma accessories šŸ˜‚

    New Release: Redline Tuning Hood Struts for 2024+ Tacoma 4th Gen – 10 minute Bolt-In installation!

    Just ordered a set to Canada. Donā€™t have my truck yet (in a week I hope) but didnā€™t want to have them sell out and be on back order.

    Shock blown through the top while driving down paved road šŸ˜”

    Lol, this the lofty space a Toyota holds in the minds of the general public as to quality and reliability. To be fair, well earned over the past 50 years. I think all of the technical advances and electronic gizmos makes them more efficient and better but itā€™s more to go wrong. A mint 1987...

    Hydraulic struts hood assist system installed

    Dang, that is nice! I was waiting for a no drill solution. I wonder if this will help with the hood flutter issues as well?

    Shock blown through the top while driving down paved road šŸ˜”

    The Gen 3 was not really a whole new generation. I consider it a Gen 2.5, with the automatic hunting for gears and same uncomfortable seating position as the Gen 2. Iā€™d hope it had no major teething issues. The Gen 4 is all new and some of the teething issues seem unlike Toyota. Youā€™d think...

    Got the truck back with 2nd new transmission replacement

    I didnā€™t think I would, having heard Toyotaā€™s reputation, but I may have to purchase extended warranty for this, my first Toyota. Toyota fanā€™s always knocked the domestic brands (and likely had reason to in the past) but reading these issues sure brings Toyota down to earth for me. Iā€™ve had GM...

    Bouncy hood (& other interesting info) explained by the Car Care Nut

    I think most of his points are valid. We shouldnā€™t make excuses on quality when we are giving our hard earned money to a corporation for a truck. Many critics are haters and upset because they canā€™t afford a TRD Pro, but this guy is factual good or bad and backs up his points. The upgrades...

    Window sticker did not come with truck

    I did not get one with my 2021 VW Gti, they did print a sheet out with the specs. I donā€™t know if the traditional ones are done, usually just a printed sheet of paper now I think.
